These plans sent in by SD:
ok...here are some plans that i bought off e-bay that might help....theyre not great, but there ok. I wont take any responsibility for any injury, death or whatever, so dont sue me :)
INSTRUCTIONS TO BUILD CANNON
First you will need....
1. 3" Thick wall PVC pipe approx 10" long
2. 2 3" straight PVC couplings
3. 1 3"x 1 1/2" reducer
4. 1 3" threaded end cap
5. 1 3" threaded endcap adaptor
6. approx. 4ft of 1 1/2" thick wall PVC pipe for barrel
7. PVC cement
TOOLS....
1. hacksaw
2. drill
3. file
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
First make sure all pieces are clean for gluing. Take one of the 3"
couplings and apply PVC cement all around one of the inside ends and insert
the 3" threaded endcap adaptor. Let dry. With the other coupling, glue the
3"x1 1/2" adaptor. Let dry. Cut a section of the 3" PVC long enough to
insert between the coupling assemblies with about 2 inches showing between
the two. Screw endcap into the endcap adaptor. Drill a small hole in the
pipe showing between the couplings. Drill a small hole in the center of the
endcap. The expansion/combustion chamber is complete. Apply PVC cement to
the inside of the 1 1/2" adaptor. Insert the section of 1 1/2" pipe to be
used for your barrel. I recommend at least 40 inches. Take a gas grill
ignitor and tape the two wires together about 10' long. Insert through the
hole in endcap, with the button to the outside. On the other end strip 1/4"
off the ends of both wires and form a gap between the two wires so that when
you push the button a spark jumps between the 2 wires. Pull excess slack out
so that the wires do not touch the sides of the chamber.
THE CANNON IS COMPLETE!
TO FIRE THE CANNON
ALWAYS USE EXTREME CARE!!! YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR USE OF YOUR
PROJECT!!! Remove the endcap and place a semi-tight wad of newspaper in the
end of barrel nearest chamber. Pour an amount of paintballs into barrel.
Place another semi tight wad of newspaper into the barrel so paintballs wont
roll out. Squirt a small amount of hairspray or WD-40 into the hole in the
side of chamber. Start with small amounts not to remove the oxygen from
chamber, or it wont fire. DO NOT HOLD IN HANDS WHEN FIRING UNLESS YOU HAVE
TESTED AND FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE CONSTRUCTION. Then all you have to do is
press the button and.......BOOM!!!
TO CONVERT TO CO2 SYSTEM -- cut the barrel 2" above the expansion chamber.
Attach a 1 1/2" high quality ball valve. Reattach barrel to other end of
ball valve. THIS IS THE TRIGGER SO MAKE IT FEEL COMFORTABLE. Remove the
end cap and use reducer bushings from 3" to 3/8". Use a 3/8" "T" fitting and
install a pressure gauge on the T. next install a 3/8" cutoff valve or a
tank valve before attaching CO2 tank adapter. TO FIRE -- close trigger valve.
SLOWLY Pressurize the expansion chamber NEVER HIGHER THAN PRESSURE RATING OF
THE PVC YOU USED. START WITH LOW PRESSURES FIRST!!! Get the feel of it and
note pressures before going up, and always SAFETY FIRST!!! YOU USE THIS
INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK.
PAINTBALL SILENCER PLANS
First you will need...
1. approx. 17" of thin wall 3/4" PVC pipe
2. approx. 12" of thin wall 1 1/4" PVC pipe
3. 2- 1 1/4" straight couplings
4. 2- 1 1/4"x 3/4" reducer
5. PVC cement
6. a round file
7. sandpaper
8. a drill and 3/16" drill bit
9. a 3/4" coupling or 1"x 3/4" reducer depending on barrel type of you gun
(you may want to get an extra 1
10. some steel wool or insulation
These instructions are for a fairly large silencer, but you can trim length
to suit your tastes. I have found this large silencer to be the quietest I
have ever seen. First apply PVC cement to the inside diameter to one side of
both 1 1/4" couplings. Tap the 1 1/4" reducers into the glued side of
couplings. Take the round file and sandpaper and ream out the reducers so
that the 3/4" pipe will go ALL THE WAY THROUGH THEM, BUT FIT TIGHT. Take
your time and check size often to make it tight. Glue the 12" 1-1/4" pipe
into ONE of the couplings, leave the other side unglued. That part is now
complete.
We'll refer to that as the "cover". Measure own approx. 2" from end of 3/4"
pipe and 6" from the other end, and start drilling holes all through the
middle of the marks. Take your time and make holes clean. Run sandpaper down
the inside to clear any burrs. Glue the other reducer/coupling assembly to
the 2" side of the barrel, leaving 1" extending out of the reducer. Here is
where you have to determine what size coupling to fit your gun. The 3/4"
straight coupling can be sanded to fit 13/16" barrels, or use a 1"x 3/4"
reducer to attach gun to silencer. You may have to "custom fit" your
silencer to the barrel you have. Just make sure that a paintball can slide
through silencer easily. Wrap the now vented barrel with steel wool and
slide into the cover assembly with end of the barrel through the opening.
The 2 pieces should fit together nicely in the couplings and allow you to
take cover off for cleaning and changing steel wool. Do not pack steel wool
too tight, because you want some air space inside for absorbing sound and
expanding air. Here one is attached to a Talon, A pump gun is fine for use
with a silencer, no need to rapid fire if they don't know where you are
anyway.
Paintball Silencer
With a little care, you shouldn't need too much practice, and if you have
seen the B.O.A Concealer, you have a pretty good idea what you will end up
with. In fact, it is very similar to the finished product I put on M-16s and
CAR-15s about 10 years ago. Just think about your work, and plan ahead! You
will need to get a section of PVC or ABS (preferably ABS, it's already
black), about 6 inches long and 2-1/2 inches or so across. Also, get some
stiff plastic plates a few inches across, you will be using these for the
endplates for the 'can'. You will also want to get a good grade of epoxy.
Last, get some 'open cell' type foam, open weave gauze, or some cheesecloth.
You will busing this for the packing. make sure it will not unravel, and is
easy to clean in the event you break a ball in the bbl. Take your barrel and
put in a lathe, turning a couple thousandths of an inch off to get a smooth
mounting surface. You want to take as little as possible, but you do want a
shiny metal surface. Usually, 1 or 2 thousandths of an inch will do, but it
depends on the surface of your bbl. If you are using stainless, you have a
good start, but think about an anno job when you are done. Stainless does
not hide very well in the bush! Once you are done, it's off to the drill
press. Now would also be a good time to 'crown' your bbl for accuracy (cut
the muzzle end, on the inside, just slightly. In essence, you are rounding
off the inside edge to help prevent damage to the muzzle bore for active
players.) In the space you turned, drill a series of small holes (about
1/8th inch or so), evenly spaced in 3 or 4 rows around the bbl. Also, leave
about 1/2 inch at either end of the area you turned on the lathe. After you
are done drilling, run a barrel hone through to deburr your drill job. Use
the finest grade of hone you have available, for a good finish. Don't forget
to lubricate the hone you are using, and keep it wet all the time (air tool
oil work good for this.) Do NOT let it sit in one place in the bbl, but keep
it going in and out evenly, and keep it running even when you take it out of
the barrel. Also, make sure you still have a good finish on the outside of
the bbl, so it will be easier to clean. Take your bbl, your PVC pipe, and
your micrometer or caliper over to a table where you can sit. Carefully mike
the inside of the PVC and the outside of your barrel. You will actually
want to do this in several places, at both ends of where you want to
suppressor to go, to get consistent measurements and ensure accuracy. The
silencer will be holding itself together with a friction fit, so make sure
you take the time to get this right! Once you get good measurements, lay
them out on your end plates, and get ready to cut. I have found out that
with cuts like this, you want to give yourself a little leeway and 'shave'
them to size (cut you inside a little small and your outside a little big),
so you have room to adjust. Remember - you can always cut a little more
off, but you start over if you cut too much!!! Keep testing the fit to make
sure you get it right. Once you have a good, tight fit on the barrel, put
the ends in place and fill the inside corners with epoxy to permanently bond
them down (you won't want to move them.) The best way to cut your endplates
is to round them off, then put them in the lathe, mounted on the barrel, to
give you more control and consistency in your cuts, because you want the
tube to stay on, yet be able to pull it apart for cleaning. Once you get a
good fit for the 'can' you should need a little effort to put it on and take
it off), get whatever packing you are going to use and wrap it around the
bbl, then hold it down while you put the can over it. Including letting the
epoxy cure (BEFORE you pack the silencer,) you should need about a day and a
half to get the job done. Anyone familiar with machine tools and shop
principles should be able to do this without too much trouble.
Goggle Fan
Introduction
I don't own fog-free goggles. At least at the time I designed this fan I
didn't. I have no-fog lenses now because the store owner I went to didn't
have regular lenses when I cracked my old ones. Fog-free lenses are not
totally fog-free anyway and on a hot summer day, it's good to have a little
air circulating around your face.
The following document explains how to build a goggle fan. All the parts are
available at Radio Shack and can be purchased for $26 + change. (At least
that's how much I paid) The goggle fan that you can buy at your local
paintball store or thru mail order will cost $70 so you can see the benefits
of my design.
This design is nice because it allows you to use rechargeable NiCad batteries
and recharge them with your car cigarette lighter on your way to the
paintball field. Also this design gives you two ways of turning on the fan.
You can press and hold the momentary button until the goggles are clear then
when you release the button, the fan shuts off and you can get back to
painting up the poor saps that sill have fogged up lenses. The other option
in to press the push on/push off button to turn the fan on then off. The
push on/off switch is nice for handsfree operation. You can turn the fan on
when the game starts and off after it's over.
Parts List
2 male, 1 female connector. It doesn't really matter what connectors you
use, as long as they fit together.
1 small slide switch
1 120 ohm resistor
2 LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) w/built in 80 ohm resistor
8 AA batteries and battery holder. You can use NiCad rechargeable batteries.
The battery holder will not have wire leads for hooking up to components so
you will also have to purchase 9V battery connectors with leads.
1 momentary push-button
1 push-on/push-off button
1 12 volt mini-fan
Some twin lead wire. Speaker wire will do.
Some small diameter, solid conductor wire for hooking up components.
A project box all the parts will fit in.
Epoxy
Drill with small bits
Soldering iron
Construction
Begin by determining where you are going to mount the buttons, LEDs,
connectors and batteries in your project box. Drill the appropriate size
holes and mount them using epoxy to hold them in place. Some of these
components will come with screws or nuts for mounting, but I would suggest
using epoxy just to create a seal that paint will not get in thru.
Using the schematic diagram, wire the parts together using small conductor
wire; preferably solid conductor rather than stranded because in tight
places like a project box, it's easier to work with. Keep the wires as short
as possible.
When wiring the fan, there are two ways of doing it. The way I did, or the
way I would if I could do it again! I would suggest you mount a female plug
(like I mentioned before, it doesn't matter what plugs you use as long as
they fit together) in the project box, and using your twin lead wire (not
antenna wire) or speaker wire, run a wire long enough to reach your pocket
or wherever you're going to keep the fan control box while your playing and
put a male connector on the end. The way I put the plugs together for the
fan was to run a wire that would reach my goggles, and solder on a male
connector. I put a female on the fan leads. I used tie-wraps to attach the
leads to the inside of the mask.
To make a charging cable to charge the batteries, you will have to buy a
cigarette light adapter cord, without a connector on the end, and put an
opposite gender connector on the end that matches the one you installed in
the charging assembly of the control box.
Attaching Fan to Goggles
This is up to you. I tie-wrapped it to the vent holes on top of my goggles.
Some of you may have visors that make it more of a challenge to mount it.
You could epoxy the fan in place or come up with your own idea that I
haven't thought of yet.
REMEMBER!!! The fan WILL get shot with a paintball!!! You may want to make
it removable somehow to get the paint off!!
Operation
Running the Fan
Press on of the two buttons and the fan will run. (If you've wired
everything properly)
The momentary pushbutton will run the fan only while you have it pressed
down. Once you let it up, the fan will shut off.
The push-on/push-off button will turn the fan on the first time you press
the button, and turn it off the next time.
Charging
DO NOT TRY TO CHARGE ALKALINE BATTERIES!!! I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO!!! THEY WILL EXPLODE IN AN UGLY MESS POSSIBLY
INJURING SOMEONE IF YOU DO!!! SO DON'T DO IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
Now that I got that out of the way I can tell you how to charge batteries.
You must use NiCad or lead-acid rechargeable batteries for this to work
properly. NiCads are your most popular and easy to find rechargeable. Do not
try to charge Renewal batteries. Attempting to charge them with this charger
will cause potentially hazardous problems.
Plug the control box into your car cigarette lighter plug using an adapter
cord.
Turn on the small slide switch you installed in the charging assembly. The
charging LED should light up.
You're now charging. A full charge could take up to 10 hours. I would charge
them overnight on a regular charger the first time so that your guaranteed a
good first charge, and after that you should only have to charge it on your
way to the field.
Notes
If you don't have prior experience soldering or have never put together
small components like this before, I would suggest an hour practicing
putting small wires together on a wire-wrap board. If you don't want to
practice it a little before making a try, you could screw things up by
glopping hot solder in a molten mess.
One real pain in the butt about this fan is that if it gets shot, it will
blow paint into your goggles. Paint stings your eyes like soap so consider
yourself warned.
If you build this fan and it doesn't work, rest assured you did it wrong! I
followed this design to the letter and it works beautifully for me and I
know of 3 dozen paintball players that can attest to this.
Disclaimer
I cannot and will not be held responsible for any damages, expenses or
injuries if you build and/or use this project. I personally think that if
you get hurt using this fan, you screwed something up!!!
No-Fog Spray
Goggles and eyeglasses have a horrible habit of fogging up. Especially after
you've saturated the foam with sweat. Even thermal goggles fog up too under
hot, humid conditions. I recommend that everyone build a fan to defog their
goggles. But that costs about $25 and there are a lot of cheapskates out
there in paintball land. So try this, home made no-fog spray.
Materials:
· Spray bottle
· Baby Shampoo (tear free stuff like Johnson's)
· Water
Directions
Mix a solution of water and shampoo. I recommend anywhere from 5:1 to 10:1
(water: shampoo) in the spray bottle. You can experiment with different
strengths of the solution for best results.
Spray the solution on you goggles or eyeglasses and wipe off any excess.
I provide no guarantee of success. Success is up to you. This no-fog
spray is used by SCUBA divers around the world, but even under extreme
conditions (high heat and humidity) even this will fail. So don't count on
it as being a fix-all solution because there is none when it comes to
keeping goggles fog-free. Except using a combination, fan, spray, and
thermal lenses. Even then you still run into the occasional foggy lens.
Good Luck!
Smoke Bombs
Requirements:
Sugar
Saltpeter (usually found in a Large Drug Store)
OK, take 4 parts sugar, and 6 parts saltpeter and put them in a pot. Heat
them over a LOW flame, stirring constantly, until it is liquid. Pour it into
a container, add a fuse, and let it harden.
You can put it into a paper cup, and just light the cup, or you could pour
it into a mold.
Take some sturdy string and dip it in wax. You now have a fuse suitable for
a smoke bomb.
WARNING: If you put the contents in a paper cup, the cup will burn also, so
don't put the smoke bomb in an area with dry grass or anything else that
will burn
Paintball Grenades
Materials Needed:
Paintballs (or the solution that's in them)
A pot (if your using paintballs)
A rubber tube (something like the squadbuster)
A ball bearing a little bigger than the diameter of the tube
A pin
Some string
A syringe
First take the syringe and fill it, either using the paint from the
paintballs by heating them in the pot, or just by making your own. Take the
tube and seal off one end, by melting it together. Then fold the tube in
half and tie the string tightly around it, so that it holds each part of the
tube together, just like the squadbuster kind, and insert the ball bearing
into the other side, you can dip the unsealed end of the tube in very hot
water, to expand it, so the ball bearing will go in nice and snug, poke the
pin through the tube, right next to the ball bearing, so that it holds it in
place. Dip the end of the syringe in water, inject it into the tube, and
insert the paint. When it is all the way
full, it will pressurize the grenade just enough, so that when it is struck
against something hard, it will spray all over the enemy. To use it, pull
the pin out of the grenade, and simply throw at something hard, ie. a tree,
a rock, ect.
Paint Grenade
I have spent a long, long time researching paint grenades. I have spent an
equally long time surveying peoples experiences of using paint grenades.
Paint grenades fall into two basic categories: explosive, and "splatter".
Explosive grenades use a small charge, usually no larger than a firecracker,
to break open a paper shell and spew out the paint contents. They are
usually
lit with a fuse or use a pull-pin.
The model is the M-69. The paint tends to fly out in sloppy chunks, if
it flies out at all, due to the fact a distressing number of grenades tend
to
be duds. The grenades that I know of that fall into this category are: the
M-69 made by Strange Ordnance; a grenade made by Enola Gay (brand name
unknown); and a grenade made by Pro-Line (brand name unknown). Of these, the
only one used extensively is the M-69, which is odd seeing as how it has the
greatest overall failure rate. Now let me interject the final word here
about
explosive grenades: I DON'T LIKE THEM. The reason they set me on edge so
much
is twofold. One, I don't care how small the charge is in the grenade, it is
still an explosive, and as such threatens everyone's safety, including your
mask and goggle system. Two, paintball still labors under a negative public
image. I'm not helping matters admittedly by encouraging a "scale-model
war-game" atmosphere with my ideas and plans, however my point is; if the
public at large hears about us tossing EXPLOSIVE materials at each other,
it's all over, all of it. Strange Ordnance are you paying attention? I admit
these grenades are fun, the go boom, hell I want to play with one. But they
don't, repeat don't engender a safe atmosphere. Okay, that's off my chest.
Now on to the good stuff!! Okay, where was I, the second category of grenade
is the "splatter" kind. Grenades which fall into this category are: the
SquadBuster by Tippmann.
The Little Betty the grenade which you will be making here, and water
balloons. These type of grenades rely on paint under pressure to hurl their
contents onto targets. So let's begin shall we?
Materials needed:
A section of 1/8" rubber tubing about a foot long.(available at hose supply
stores, medical supply stores, or chemistry supply
stores.) Alternately, you could use a used SquadBuster.
A plastic clip tie
A large syringe (if you don't have medical friends, you can find syringe
like "emergency pumps for basketballs" in your local sporting goods store)
Some paint (either boiled down paintballs or children's washable
nontoxic paint
A pair of hemostats
Some ball bearings of slightly larger diameter than the tubing (you can find
these in your hardware store)
Some cotter pins
Some alcohol
A rubber band (optional)
A target
1) Take the tubing, and Pinch it down tight in the middle. If you want to
make smaller; Little Betty type grenades, use only a six inch length and tie
off one end of the tubing. If you're using an old SquadBuster, this is
already done for you.
2) Fill the syringe with the paint mixture and inject it into one side of
the
tubing. Leave about 2 to 2.5 inches at the top empty.
3) Before you remove the syringe, crimp off the tubing below it with the
hemostats. The filled section of tubing should look like a hotdog.
4) Lubricate one of the ball bearings with the alcohol and insert it into
the
tubing above the hemostats. If you still have the cap from the SquadBuster,
just fold the tubing tip over and place the cap on.
5) Insert one of the cotter pins above the ball bearing, through the tubing.
Or place the old SquadBuster pin through the hole in the cap. Leave the
hemostat on until the alcohol dries. If you are making a Little Betty type
grenade, you are now done.
6) Take the other empty side and repeat the process, except use the same
cotter pin to hold both bearings in.
7) If you want the grenade to have maximum area coverage with a smaller
paint
coverage, simply leave as is. However, if you want maximum paint coverage
put
a weak rubber band around the grenade. The theory being this: When you pull
the cotter pin out and throw the grenade, the non-banded kind will fall
apart, pointing in two different directions. The banded kind will however,
spray a greater amount of paint at a specific area. However, both types will
spray in a radius because the release of pressure will make the hose tip wag
around.
I have tested one of these, they do work, and expect about a 5 to 6 foot
spray radius. Remember VERY IMPORTANT: get a good arc on these or try to
throw it at something hard (like a bunker right behind your target) because
you need to get enough pressure when it hits to push out the bearing (or
knock off the cap). Conversely, after you have pulled the pin, DON'T squeeze
the grenade or you will get very, very messy! Also, after you pull the pin,
if you notice a small amount of leaking paint, throw it quickly or it will
blow soon! And this should be the final result:
So there you go folks, hope you enjoy it. If you try this out, email me an
let me know your results or send me some pictures. I am also interested in
anyone using these as cannon or mortar ammo! Please let me know if you try
this! Thank you all and happy painting!
PAINTBALL ALL-PURPOSE BOOBY TRAP
CAUTION: BY AGREEING TO THIS DISCLAIMER YOU MUST FULLY UNDERSTAND THE
FOLLOWING: The following device *IS* hazardous to use, it uses a Black Cat
firework to set off and could possibly be fatal or harmful. If you
construct this device you agree that anything you do is solely your
responsibility. It is highly recommended NOT to construct this trap!
Materials:
Duct tape (can never have enough)
Roll of toilet paper
Crayola powdered children's washable paint mix
Water
M-80 firecracker (m-60's might work haven't tried though, but don't buy the
small stuff like m-2000's)
Model rocket igniter thingie that comes in the engine packages
Thirty or more feet of wire, with positive and negative leads
9v battery
Tools:
Scissors
Glue gun
What to Do:
There are three different parts of this project that must be done first to
make production run smoothly, I will put them in order of the amount of time
needed to do them, so that you don't have to wait on something to dry or mix
thoroughly.
The steps are:
I. Making the paint
II. Making the explosive charge (Not as dangerous as it sounds...)
III. Making the shell
I. Making the paint
Okay, the icky gooey part first ... the paint in this device has to be able
to be thick and chunky in order for it to have enough viscosity not to leak
through the walls of the shell. If done correctly you will have a very nasty
looking brew with which you can wreak havoc upon your foes, if done
incorrectly your finished product could have unsatisfying results.
Step 1: Take the toilet paper off of the toilet paper roll, don't throw the
roll away! you'll use is later...
Step 2: Take the powdered paint and make about a quart of THICK paint by
adding water
Step 3: Tear up the toilet paper in to shreds (Don't go overboard, just rip
it up a bit) then chunk it into the paint. Now stir it all up until you
think it's good and ready, about 3 min. should do the trick.
Step 4: Take a strainer of some sort and dip it into the stew you just made,
and get all of the toilet paper out. let the toilet paper hang somewhere
drizzling all of the paint out (Don't force it out!)
II. Making the explosive charge
This is a very safe and easy way to make an electrically triggered m-80, if
done correctly, if done incorrectly you could walk out with a little less
digits than when you went in. The main thing to remember here is safety,
don't put your work by a fireplace, don't smoke while doing it, and don't go
walking around in your socks, shuffling your feet on carpets!! Let's get to
it...
Step 1: Take the m-80 and look at it. There should be a plastic cap on
either of the ends. Take off the cap that the wick is going into and place
it off to the side because you'll need it later.
Step 2: Take your scissors and cut the wick about 1/8" from where it goes
into the gray stuff.
Step 3: Take the rocket booster igniter and place it right on top of the cut
wick, and I mean RIGHT on top or besides, if this igniter doesn't catch the
wick, you've got a dud on your hands when your finished.
Step 4: Now very carefully move the igniter over to the side of the m-80 on
the cardboard at the lip of the m-80 and put a dab of hot glue there, be
VERY careful not to let it leak inside!! let that sit for a minute.
Step 5: Now get that cap you put to the side and place it back on, so that
the wires poke out of the top, you might have to cut a notch to let the
wires through, if you do, then after you place the cap back on, put some
glue in the extra open area so that it is liquid tight. also make sure that
the two wires are not touching anywhere, this could cause a short, and you'd
have a dud.
III. Making the shell
This is not too tricky, you'll need some duct tape, scissors and oh
yeah...that toilet paper roll you probably threw away.
Step 1: Take the toilet paper roll and smash the roll length ways flat on
the table, so that it has two creases in it running length ways.now
unflattened it and line up the creases so that if you wanted to you could
smash them on top of each other, causing two more creases to be made, now
smash the roll again, you should now have what look like a rectangular
prism, if you do, good for you.
Step 2: With your scissors in one hand and your prism in the other proceed
to cut about 5/8" down each crease, on either side of the prism. Do it now.
Step 3: Now it's duct tape time!! fold the cuts of one side of the prism
inward on top of each other, preferably in a cross over pattern, the way you
would a box when storing it and don't have any tape. now take some tape and
put it on the folds, and put it all over it, especially around the corners.
try not to tape in the middle of the prism, because it deadens the blast and
makes the paint fly less farther. take a small, 1/4" or smaller strip of
tape and wrap it around the base of the prism, to make the hold tighter on
there flaps that have just been taped.whew, you're almost done.....not really
Step 4: Poke two holes in the middle of the prism, no further apart from
each other than 1/4", put it on a crease if you can, but make sure it's in
the middle of the prism.
IV. Putting it all together
The title says it all I guess. just during the whole process make sure that
the wires don't touch a that the paint doesn't leak.
Step 1: Go find your paint/toilet paper, it should be pretty much just some
really damp and mushy colored toilet paper by now, if there are still drips
coming off of it, then smash some (not all but mostly) of the water out of
it.
now separate the toilet paper into halves, take one hlf ane completely tear
it up, take the other half and tear it into bigger chunks, now mix it all
back together.
Step 2: Take the modified m-80 and put it inside the prism, slip the two
wires through the hole, and put some hot glue on either hole, to make it
liquid proof, hold it until it dries then let go, the m-80 should not slip
out of the holes.
Step 3: Take your gobbledee goop paint and put it into the prism, let it
settle for about a minute so that air bubbles can get out. If you make the
paint the right consistency you shouldn't have any problems, if you didn't
you will have leakage.
Step 4: Follow the same step as step III-3
Doing this right should result in a little rectangular prism, with silver
ends and two wires coming out of it.
V. Detonating your newly made weapon amongst unsuspecting foes.
This is really easy, take your double lead wires and put them on the two
wires coming out of the prism, just twist them together and make sure you
have one leading positive and one leading negative.now take the prism and
place it somewhere where the enemy can't easily see it, but is sure to come
by. now run off trailing the wire to what ever length you cut it at, and lay
In wait. When the enemy comes by monitor how fast they're going, and try to
figure when they will be 3-5 ft. away from the prism (note that it takes on
average 2-3 seconds for the prism to detonate) now whip out the 9v and push
the two wire leads to either end of the 9v. If you have a good guestimation
you will hear a satisfying *pop*, and a round of "what the hells" and "con
flabbits". Now rush in on their flank and sweep and clear.
Again I must tell you that if you build this thing, you are responsible for
any actions that the come from this design. I claim no responsibility. These
plans are here for just reference.
GHILLIE SUITE
These instructions and pic are from
https://www.angelfire.com/ma/sniper312.
This is my step-by-step instructions on how I built my ghillie suit:
Ghillie Suit #1:
#1. I first acquired some military camouflage netting from an Army Surplus
store.
#2. I then sewed this netting onto an old BDU shirt dating from my father's
service in the Vietnam War.
#3. I then tied on stripped pieces of olive drab cloth that I tore from
other olive drab BDUs.
#4. I cut the ends of the strips so they would frazzle a little, and they
did.
#5. I quickly learned that this ghillie suit didn't work properly, so I tore
the netting off the shirt and use it as a wonderful spring/summer camo net
for positional
camouflage.
Ghillie Suit #2:
#1. I acquired a pair of mechanics coveralls from the army surplus shop.
($40)
#2. I sewed on padding and extra canvas around the knees, and sewed in an
internal belt around my waist.
#3. I acquired some army hammock netting from a military catalog (Brigade
Quartermasters, $20)
#4. I also bought a Camelbak "Pakteen" 50 oz. also from Brigade
Quartermasters ( $40)
#5. I sewed in a pouch on the inside back for the Camelbak.
#6. I sewed on the netting for my back. I anchored it around the sides and
anchored some in the middle for strength. Instead of one giant piece of
netting
covering my whole body, I am placing the netting in sections that do not
span any of my joints. This makes it more flexible and easier to attach.
#7. I bought some burlap at a fabric store. I got two tones of dark and
light brown, and a tone of darkish green.( $10). I got about four square
yards.
#8. I sewed some netting onto my boonie hat and added burlap strips and
frazzled them by pulling off the smaller horizontal pieces of burlap. Quick
Tip: Try
to add the burlap outside because it can get messy, especially while
cutting. And shred the burlap outside, this is extremely messy.
#9. I put burlap and assorted cloth on legs. Then I did the same to the back
and finally the arms. It is important that all these parts look the same in
color, or
the suit will look funny.
#10. Now that I am mainly done (a ghillie suit is never really done) I am
going to field test it. For this, my spotter and I go to a field which is
about 200 yards
wide, and my spotter sets up a spotting scope and tries to find me on the
other side of the field.
Once I start using this suit, I will try to come up with some good tips on
usage and tactics while wearing it. Also, I will try to get some pictures of
it. Check
back later and email me with any suggestions. I am trying to make this site
the best for ghillie suits.
Pull Squeegee
This is a cheap, easy to make, yet effective squeegee that you can pull
right through the feed port, without removing the barrel. Here's what you'll
need:
· About 24" of 1/8" braided nylon cord (I used black)
· 3 plastic or wood "pony" beads
· 2 nylon flat washers, about 1/2" O.D.
· 1 Sponge, 1/2" to 1" thick
· 1 piece of absorbent cloth, about 3" square
Cut two 1" (approx.) diameter discs from the sponge. I used a 7/8" arch
punch, but you could use a short length of 1" copper pipe. Just sharpen one
open end with a Dremel or round file, and use it to punch out discs from the
sponge. Scissors should work also, just cut the discs as round as possible.
You want them slightly larger than the inside diameter of the barrel. Tie a
slipknot in one end of the nylon cord. (If you don't know how to tie a slip
knot, ask a Boy Scout!) Put the cloth through the loop, and pull it snug.
Slip one of the pony beads over the cord, and slide it to the slip knot.
Next, put on one of the washers and sponge discs. Tie a knot above the first
sponge, leaving room to loosen the slip knot, when you replace the cloth.
Referring to the diagram, put the rest of the pieces on the cord - bead,
nylon washer, sponge disc. I poked a hole through the center of each sponge
with a small sharpened dowel, then pushed the cord through with the same
dowel.
Tie a knot in the cord, above the second sponge, so everything stays on the
cord. You can trim the length of the cord now, according to your barrel
length. Cut the cord about 6" longer than your longest barrel. This will
leave enough to go all the way through the barrel.
Using the squeegee is simplicity itself - remove your hopper, make sure the
bolt is pulled back (cocked) and your safety is on, then just the cord
through the feed port and out the end of the barrel. Pointing the barrel
down will allow gravity to help. Grab the cord, and pull it slowly and
evenly though the barrel, repeating as necessary. You may need to guide the
sponge discs a bit as they enter the feed port and make that hard right turn
into the barrel. If you have trouble getting the nylon cord to go through
the barrel, try putting a 14" length of 1/4" ID vinyl tubing over the nylon
cord. Makes it much easier to slip it through the barrel.
Check the size of the cloth - you might need a larger or smaller piece
depending on its thickness. You need enough material to dry the barrel as
thoroughly as possible when it is pulled through.
I used all plastic, nylon, and wood parts to keep from scratching the inside
of the barrel. That aluminum is pretty soft!
Options: You could use neoprene or rubber discs instead of the sponge. If
you use rubber, make sure it's soft, and cut perfectly round. If you can
find 11/16" O.D. rubber washers, they should work. They have to be snug
enough to "swipe" the wet paint out of the barrel.
You could use insulated wire instead of the nylon cord. 18 or 20 gauge
stranded wire should be about right. The stiffness of the wire might make it
easier to put it through the barrel. You can actually tie knots in the wire.
Just be sure none of the strands are sticking out. It hurts when they poke
you!
You also might be able to use very heavy monofilament, like the cutting line
from a Weedeater. The only problem with that, might be the ability to tie
knots in it.
Make sure your Stingray is cocked and the safety is on. Push the end of the
squeegee cord through the feedport and into the barrel.
Keep pushing the cord until it sticks out the end of the barrel.
Pull on the cord, gently but firmly, while simultaneously guiding the
sponges into the feedport.
